--- Comment #24 from ocumo <kxk-ocumoatbugs...@lugosys.com> --- @Cochise César "What are the sidebar advantages?" Again. Just to repeat one of them: tree view. And again: not just the sidebar, but also this: Multiple splitting. Things like that have nothing to do with "power users". It's not correct to reduce this kind of healthy conversation to "power users" vs. "weak users" or whatever label is the current trend. That is so false and negative. Having the chance to look the tree in which one is and navigate it trivially with a single click, as opposed to "remember" where one is on his tree, has nothing to do with "power". If anything, the opposite: it actually has to do with the "lack of power" to memorize where on earth is this folder in relation with my other folders. It has been well explained here by the developer, that the feature was not "removed" because some kind of whim; it was a necessity due to obsolescence of whatever library that was necessary to implement it, which is way, way far different to imply that this is some kind of "evolutionary decision". No: it's a bad consequence of a number of unrelated problems, as explained above. For the record, neither History dialog, Bookmarks bar, and so on have anything to do with side tree view (and/or multiple splitting features for that matter) and hardly could ever be compared in function with that. Also, it's a bit disrespectful to imply that because someone doesn't use (or doesn't know or understand) a feature, that feature is "useless", ergo those that use it are wrong in doing so. This type of argumentation wrongly compartmentalize the opinions into false "sides" that don't exist. One thing seems to be clear and we agree: Dolphin is clearly not a replacement for Konqueror, it's something else, it has its place, but it has nothing to do with power or no power. In fact, as I see it, Dolphin is actually more difficult to use, and less friendly, because it lacks things that make it easier for me to manage, see and understand my file system in a graphical way, in a glance without so many clicks that hurt my arm's extensor muscles so much (typing with a pack of ice attached to your elbow is not nice). So, actually it's all about making life of users easier, not the opposite. And while I am fine working with just the command line, my bash or python scripts when I need it, that doesn't mean that I don't like to have a GUI that's easy and functional too, like old konqueror. I shouldn't need to be firing bash commands to have a glance at my directory trees, or to program myself my own thing to accomplish that. And others, whom are not so "powerful", may not be so lucky. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
